My older brother is upgrading his desktop and has some leftover parts for me. Can some one help with a budget build with the following parts. I'm trying to stay in my 300$ budget. The build doesnt have to play the newest games at super-ultra-fantastic-HD mode. ( I mainly play league of legends anyway)

Parts already owned:

CPU: Intel I3 540 3.06ghz, LGA1156 + Cool Master ICT-D925R
MoBo: GIGABYTE H55M-UD2H rev1.3
Power: AOC 350W
V-card: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 460

For league of legends this should already get you at least a 70 fps average on the maximum settings at 1920x1080. League is insanely easy-going on hardware. Anyway, are you asking what other parts you would need (i.e. case, hard drive, operating system, etc?) or are you saying what should you upgrade from this current selection (as in could you get a better GPU or a CPU or something)?

Thanks for the quick answer :D Yeah, I didn't really word my question well. I meant to ask if this build would be good enough for some light gaming, if not what parts would you recommend e.g The graphics card is a bit dated, what would be a cheap uprade.

The GTX 460 may be a bit dated, but it's still a good GPU especially for League. There's no need to upgrade it. Any upgrades I recommend which could best it would dip over the $100 range, and it performs well enough that 1080p max settings in league should be absolutely no problem whatsoever.
